Influence of the city geometric features on the two fluid model parameters
… the variables will be analyzed to formulate two models. One model will explain the relationship between Tm and corresponding geometric features; the other model will explain the relationship between T<sub>m</sub> and its corresponding features. A basic understanding of these two models will allow …
